Big news for EV lovers in India — the BMW iX1 LWB just got a fresh makeover. The newest update adds a striking Night Dusk Blue metallic paint to its colour palette. This makes the exterior look more elegant and premium, giving buyers an extra styling option beyond the usual black, white or grey.

On the inside, BMW has introduced vegan leather upholstery — called “Veganza” — with two new colour/style options: a dual-tone Veganza Smoke White + Atlas Grey, and Veganza Castanea. These come with 3D stitching and match colour-coordinated door panels, dashboard and speaker mesh, following BMW’s “cocooning effect” design philosophy. The result: a cabin that feels cohesive, classy and eco-friendly.

Why These Updates Matter for Indian Buyers

If you’re looking at EVs in India and want something luxe yet practical, these updates push the iX1 LWB ahead. The new paint and upholstery don’t change the mechanical side — but they ramp up the feel-good factor. After all, for many folks buying a luxury EV, the vibe and comfort matter as much as range or battery stats. This makes iX1 LWB an even more attractive pick for those who want a premium electric SUV that also feels refined and modern.
